Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for applying a product, especially cosmetic, in particular make-up and / or care.
- the product can be applied to the skin, nails or keratin fibers, especially hair, eyelashes or eyebrows.
- make-ups which can be filling, natural, curling, lengthening, or which result from a mixture between these different characteristics of based.
- patent literature is teeming with patents describing devices whose object is to produce new makeup effects or allow the application of compositions having particular rheologies.
- devices which are distinguished in these patents are described relative to each other by the density and / or the shape of their elements of application (generally fibers), by their profile, longitudinal and / or transverse, by the nature of the material constituting the support and / or the elements application, by the treatment to which all or part of the device may be subjected application, or by any other element of the packaging unit and application of which the application device is only a constituent part (for example, the wringer).
- patent application FR-A-2 668 905 describes a process for obtaining a mascara brush consisting in, after twisting the brush and mow according to the desired profile, to heat the end of the fibers so as to melt them, and thus create small bulges under the fibers form of balls, resulting from the shrinkage of the polymeric material. After a such treatment, the fibers remain substantially straight.
- US-A-5,161,554 describes a mascara brush of the twisted brush type, and the fibers of which are of variable section along their axis longitudinal.
- the fibers can be zig-zag or wavy.
- the fibers After treatment, in a conventional manner, the fibers are placed under form of a sheet introduced between the two strands of a U-shaped wire. are then twisted relative to each other, so as to configure the fibers in the form of a helical arrangement with several turns.
- such a curvature is obtained by subjecting all or part of the application device for moderate heating, i.e. at a temperature higher than the glass transition temperature of the polymer forming said fibers that one wishes to bend, and lower than the melting temperature of said polymer in the case of a semi-crystalline polymer.
- the heating time is adjusted according to the material, the diameter of the fibers, so as to obtain the desired curvature, without causing retraction of the material, suitable, as described in patent application FR-A-2 668 905 mentioned above, to cause a significant shortening of the fibers and to modify the cross section, in particular, at the end.
- the significant curvature of the fibers allows, even in the event that the density of fibers, in particular by turns in the case of a mascara brush of the type twisted brush, is important, to substantially reduce the spaces between two successive turns, and create a clutter effect, thus preventing the makeup is not done in packs.
- the curvature of the fibers contributes to the space out relative to each other, increasing the amount of product which can be retained between the fibers of the brush.
- the autonomy of the brush is, this fact, much better.
- said fibers have a substantially constant curvature from the support to the corresponding free end.
- substantially constant we hears a variation in radius of curvature of up to 15% around a value average, and preferably at most 10% around said average value.
- the application device can also be configured under in the form of an arrangement of hairs which are substantially parallel to each other others, and extending, like a toothbrush, perpendicular to a axis of said support.
- Such applicators are generally intended to be used in combination with a product packaged in the form of a solid bread, moisten before use.
- the average radius of curvature of the curved portions is preferably understood between 2 mm and 40 mm. Preferably, it is between 2 and 30 mm. Of more preferably, it is less than 20 mm, and more than 3 mm. Preferably still, the radius of curvature is between 3 mm and 10 mm.
- said fibers are made of a thermoplastic material, in particular in polyamide, or in a thermoplastic elastomer.
- the material thermoplastic can be 100% amorphous or semi-crystalline.
- polyamides 6 such as those sold under the brand name Tynex®.
- the diameter of the fibers can be between 6/100 th of mm and 35/100 th of mm, and preferably between 10/100 th of mm and 25/100 th of mm.
- the application device comprises fibers or portions of fibers that are substantially straight.
- it comprises a first group of curved portions having a first mean radius of curvature and a second group of curved portions having a second mean radius of curvature, distinct from the first.
- the different radii of curvature of the first and second groups can result of the use of first and second types of fibers formed from materials different, including having different glass transition temperatures.
- the different groups of curved portions can, when mixed with each other, participate in obtaining results of particular application, by especially when it comes to makeup. They can also, when they are separate from each other, be used for different areas of the region to treat.
- the support consists of a twisted core, formed from two strands, particularly of wire, twisted relative to each other, the fibers being fixedly held between the two twisted strands and extending radially relative to the twisted core, the device being intended for the application of product on keratin fibers, in particular the eyelashes or the eyebrows.
- the fibers are arranged in a helical arrangement, the number of fibers per turn being between 5 and 80, and preferably between 10 and 45.
- the helical organization of the fibers may be more or less perceptible, or even completely imperceptible, on the surface of the applicator, depending on the degree fiber curvature.
- the cross section of the application device may be circular, or polygonal, in particular triangular, square, or pentagonal. Other forms still can be considered.
- the twisted core can be straight or curved.
- the twisted core has a plurality of turns which can rise from left to the right when the brush is viewed from the front in a vertical position. In this case brush is called "left".
- the twisted core has a plurality of turns rising from the right to left when the brush is viewed from the front in a vertical position.
- the brush is qualified as "straight".
- the different groups of curved portions can be implemented in places separate from the support.
- first and second groups of curved portions can be offset the along a longitudinal axis of the support.
- they are angularly offset around the twisted core.
- the fibers are heated to a temperature significantly lower than the melting temperature of the material which constitutes them.
- the heating of said fibers can be carried out by convection, in particular by immersion in a heated liquid, or by contact with hot air, or by radiation, especially infrared.
- the heating is carried out by immersion of the fibers in water heated to about 100 ° C.
- a temperature has proved satisfactory for polyamide 6 fibers with a glass transition temperature included between 50 ° C and 60 ° C, and whose melting temperature is of the order of 185 ° C.
- the fibers can be immersed in said liquid for a period ranging from 4 to 25 seconds, and preferably 7 to 15 seconds.
- the packaging and application assembly may also include a wringer intended to be crossed by the application device, at least during its extraction from the container, so as to dose the quantity of product present on, and between, the fibers.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a conventional brush 50 of the brush type, such than commonly used for eyelash or eyebrow makeup.
- the brush 50 comprises a twisted core 51 obtained from a folded wire in a U and between the branches of which, prior to the twisting movement, introduces a layer of bristles 52.
- the bristles 52 are driven in a helical configuration formed by a succession of more or less spread turns.
